It is an object of the invention to provide an improved money bag forcarrying currency in such a manner nations placed therein are keptseparate.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved money baghaving a plurality of receptacles each of which is readily accessible.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved container, ofthe character referred to, which may be folded compactly and securelytied, and which is inexpensive to manufacture and durable in use.

The foregoing and such other objects of the invention as will appearhereinafter as the description proceeds, will be more readily understoodfrom a perusal of the following specification, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, in which;

Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of the im proved money bag, showingportions broken away.

Fig. 2 is a vertical central sectional view, taken substantially on line22 of Fig. 1.

It is the custom, in large mercantile establishments, department stores,and the like, where cash registers, cash drawers, and other cash holdingdevices are used, to assembled the daily receipts into a singlecontainer for delivery to the main oflice, accounting department, orbank. each department must be counted before being deposited in thecontainer and it is necessary to separate the various denominations andcount the currency upon reaching its destination.

The device embodying the invention, as set taken subst anthat variousdenomi- 1 formed and arranged relative to each other are adapted toreceive formed by stitches when it is turned right side out.

The sack 7G 12 is preferably formed of one piece ofmaterial folded, as shown at 14, Fig. 1 and having its joined edges 15and 16 secured together by stitch-es 17 It is preferable that the sack12 be sewed together wlth the material folded inside out so that theoutlets 18 of'the seams stitching at 21 The pockets edge 25 of the frontportion 17 are disposed inwardly The open formed of and the thereinforced 23 to provide an extension or flap 26.

It will be noted, by referring particularly to Figs. 2 and3, that the various edges of the sack and the pockets are all reinforcedby hems or seams, thus a very durable container is provided which willwithstand hard usage.

It is preferable that the outermost pocket 13 be filled first and accessmay be had to the next succeeding pocket by swinging the one which hasbeen filled over the top of the sack 12, as shown in Fig. 4:, the coinsdeposited therein remaining in said pocket of their own Weight. As eachof the pockets 13 are filled they are swung over the top of the sack inthe same manner as the first and when all of said pockets are filledthey are returned to their original position. Bills or checks are placedin the sack 12 and the upper portion of said sack and the flaps 26 arefolded over the pockets 13 and secured in place by a tying strap 34 asshown in Fig. 5. This strap Selmay be detachable or it may be secured bythe stitches 21 to one of the hems 22 of the sack. lVith the containerfolded and tied in this manner the contents of the sack or pockets cannot fall out, irrespective of the position assumed thereby.

The advantage of employing a container for currency as described in theforegoing may be readily appreciated as notes may be kept of the amountof currency placed in each pocket. lVhen the containers from variousdepartments are collected together it is unnecessary to recount themoney, thus considerable time is saved and the probability of error orloss is minimized.

Although an exemplary form of the invention has been illustrated in theaccompanying drawings and described in detail in the foregoingspecification, it is to be readily understood that the improved moneybag may be made in various sizes and may embody certain variations indetail structure without departing from the spirit of the invention orthe scope of the, appended claims.
